Change the scope of onAfterChange in jsViews

Question

I have very nested data, so I added a {{scope variable}}...{{/scope}} tag, which does nothing but changing the scope:

scope: function (newScope) {
    return this.tagCtx.render(newScope);
}

This works so far, but this sample code has an issue in the onAfterChange, which I use to push data back to the server.

In the initializer:

data.Foo.Bar.TheObject = new MyObject('Foo'); // has "Name" property set to "Foo"

In the template:

{{scope Foo.Bar.TheObject}}
     <input type="text" data-link="Name" />
{{/scope}}

It will display "Foo" correctly, but when I change it, in the onAfterChange I get the data object instead of TheObject. Can I add something to {{scope}} to achieve a scope change for the onAfterChange?
(The {{for}} tag has this behavior but I can't loop over a single object.)

Answer 1

As mentioned in comments above, the {{for}} tag does indeed cater to scenarios where you want to move the current data context (what mrs_sheep refers to as 'scope') to a different object (or array).

You can do {{for my.path.to.some.objectOrArray}} - and the target does not have to be an array.

See http://www.jsviews.com/#fortag "Render the specified template for the given object, or iterate over the given array"
